The interaction went down backstage at The Millennium Tour's Los Angeles leg, which included performances from Bow Wow, Omarion and Soulja Boy with surprise appearances from Snoop Dogg, Jermaine DuPri and Chris Brown.

Brown obliged and the pair were seen posing for a snap before her friends joined in for another photo, but after the video began to make its rounds online many social media users were not happy.

And another wrote in poor taste that she wouldn't have ever been let into his 'section' if she wasn't famous, because she 'doesn't meet the domestic abuser's criteria.'
